Real 1967 Chevrolet Impala SS Barn Find Hides Something Fixable Under the Hood

The 1967 Impala is part of the fourth-generation model, which in its turn is the one that managed to impress in its very first year on the market, exceeding one million sold units in the United States.

This was an-all time industry sales record, and needless to say, it made the Impala an even more popular model than it already was. It paved the way for a successful fourth generation until the production ended in 1970.

The Impala we have here is a 1967 model, but more importantly, it’s an SS version still coming with some original magic under the hood.

In other words, what you’re going to get in terms of engine and transmission is a duo comprising the 327 (5.4-liter) unit installed by Chevrolet 54 years ago and an automatic transmission, both said to be fixable. Because yes, both are there, and while the engine turns over, it’s not currently starting, at least according to owner logisticnorth, who posted the Impala on eBay.

This isn’t something necessarily surprising, as the vehicle was last driven in 1999, so it spent more than two decades in storage.

It will “need completely gone through,” the owner explains, and also requires a new convertible top canvas.

Of course, this Impala comes with a somewhat expected amount of rust, and, as the seller explains, “the trunk was poorly patched with sheet metal.

Other than that, the car sports bucket seats and the original console, air conditioning (though we’re not being told if it’s working or not), 56,404 miles (90,773 kilometers) on the clock, and a clean NY title.

This barn find isn’t listed for auction on eBay but comes with a fixed price, so if you want to take it home, you need to be ready to spend $11,500 for it. Fortunately, the seller has also enabled the “Make Offer” button, so you know what you have to do if you’re interested in another deal.
